Clearly MAGA sees this as a winning issue that will turn out the base and bring independents and moderates into the fold. Or...maybe 1 out of 3? MAGA loves them some good immigrant hate propaganda!
Well done folks. Well done indeed.

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) tripled down on debunked rumors that immigrants in Ohio are eating cats in an interview airing Sunday on "Meet the Press," contending "constituents are seeing it with their own eyes."
The big picture: The GOP ticket has latched onto unfounded rumors that immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating family pets — rumors that have led to several security threats in the small town.
Local officials have said there are no credible reports of migrants eating pets.

Reality check: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, said on ABC's "This Week" that there is "absolutely" no evidence Haitian immigrants are eating cats, saying the conversation "needs to stop" as "hate groups" are coming to the town.
"The Haitians who are in Springfield are legal. They came to Springfield to work. Ohio is on the move and Springfield has really made a great resurgence," he said, adding the Haitian immigrants who have moved to the town are "very good workers."
He characterized the rumors as "a piece of garbage that was simply not true," saying Haitian immigrants are "positive influences" on the community.
